I have a litany of illnesses. Most major are Bipolar, Osteoarthritis, Chronic Vertigo and Chronic Insomnia. I went to my SSDI forced Phsyciatric evaluation today and the Physychiatrist had Medical Records (which I might add were completely derrogatory to me). The only disclosure agreement I signed per HIPAA for medical records was to my attorney representative. I have checked with my attorneys office and the doctors office. My attorneys office had never received these records because I had to physically got to their office and pay the fee at 2:00pm on 7/6/11.
